Episode Report Card Monty Ashley: A | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Operation: Betty Sexification!
By Monty Ashley | Season 3 | Episode 19 | Aired on 03.19.2009
In Molly's apartment, Daniel is reading a book called "You're Broke Because You Want to Be," and I'm not sure his financial situation is exactly right for that kind of book. He's broke because some guy stole all his money, not because his business model is unrealistic or because he's bad at managing money. I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if he was bad at managing money, but in a world with a 24-hour live Style News Network, Mode's business model is presumably one of the least unrealistic things around. Daniel tells her that he has some thoughts on her poem. From an editorial perspective. He mostly thinks the waves should be Hard and Crashing instead of Soft and Caressing. And maybe the rock could stop crying. Essentially, he doesn't want to come off like a wuss in her poem. Whoo! Let's kick it up a notch up here in this poetry slam! Rock-hard waves, y'all! Daniel's concern is that she's going to read the poem in public. Well, in my limited experience. a poetry slam isn't really "public." It's like eight people, most of whom are working on their own pieces. And since when are you allowed to write your slam poetry ahead of time?
Ahem. Sorry about that. Back to the show, not my own issues with poetry slams. Molly decides that if that's how Daniel feels, she'll just read an entirely different poem. Daniel sighs.
Back to Queens. Felissa is draped all over Archie, and Hilda is gritting her teeth.
Betty's Manhattan apartment. An iPod plays sexay music. Matt enters (because, hey, why lock your door in Manhattan, right?), and tells an offstage Betty that they should get going if they're going to make it to the movie. Betty pushes open a curtain and looks pretty good as she purrs, "What's your hurry, soldier?" Then she winks, which I shall assume she learned from Amanda. Betty drinks a Mojito while walking aggressively at Madd until she corners him on a couch. She tickles his face with a purple plume. It doesn't look like she's igniting his pleasure centers. Finally, Matt freaks out and runs away. He tells her that it's not her, it's him, but that does not appear to reassure her. He leaves, and she looks sad. By the way, this didn't occur to me until I read the forums, but it's kind of weird that Betty was planning on having sex in an apartment that's now Marc and Amanda's.
Meanwhile, Hilda and Archie are having sex in Hilda's salon chair. Hilda dreamily tells him that she was planning on dumping him until they were interrupted by Felissa. Archie is kind of insulted by that, and then he's very insulted. He gathers his clothes and leaves.
